# Surface: check a link before you open it

Unwrap a short link before your agent opens it. Surface follows the hops on t.co, bit.ly, lnkd.in and youtu.be links and says fetch or skip. It never returns the page.

Free for the first 1,000,000 requests every month, no card needed. After that: Preflight $0.25, Hop $0.40, Pixel $0.15, Inspect $0.20 per 1,000 requests (USD). Production plan: $50 CAD/month.
